A Multifunctional FTP Client
With FileZilla you use the services of the inexhaustible program pools of public FTP
servers such as www.simtel.net or upload your homepage to the server of your provider.
Also, FTP Client is able to establish SSH connections to SFTP servers. To do so the
program uses parts of the PuTTY Opensource program. This may be very interesting for
uploads to the server of Sourceforge.net. Using the Pages Administration you set up your
FTP accounts. Uploads or downloads can be started by Drag & Drop very easily. In case a
transfer is terminated prematurely for any reasons, FileZilla will enable you to continue
the transfer starting from this point! In Addition to that, you can place files and
folders into a wait list. The lower part of the window displays its content. From here,
you may start the download at a later time.

An Excellent Download Manager
FDM meets the standards of a download manager, such as the integration in browsers like
Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera, the resumption and the planning of downloads,
restriction of the bandwidth, storing of downloads by categories as well as the
simultaneous download of several files. Before starting a download, you have to define
the memory folder in the 'Add download' window and assign the file to a group. In order
to increase the download speed you can make the program search for existing mirror
servers. Clicking on 'Query size' , the program will inform you about the file size even
before the download. Please, click on 'Advanced' and then, in the Connection register in
Sections, you define into how many parts a big file might be divided maximally to obtain
a faster download. During the download the program checks the file integrity enabling you
to discover any deficient downloads at an early stage and to stop them. You transfer
download addresses to the FDM by Drag & Drop onto the collection box or by the clipboard
(Clipboard monitoring). Another feature is the preview on the content of ZIP files. This
enables you to select only part of the files for downloading. The 'Flash-Video-Downloads'
FDM register has been prepared for the downloading of flash videos, such as those offered
by YouTube, Google, Myspace etc. These videos can be converted directly into AVI, WMV or
MP4 videos once the download has been concluded successfully. The upload module, which
also exists as an independent program, allows you to offer files to other users in
Wikifortio.
With the FDM Remote Control Server you or others, using a client PC in the
Internet, are able to transmit a download address to your Free Download Manager and start
the downloading. To do so, you just have to remember the IP address of the server and, if
necessary, the user name and the password. Also, you can look up a list of active and
concluded downloads in your client browser. The Site Explorer facilitates, for example,
navigating on public FTP servers, such as ftp.simtel.net. Finally, let's allude to the
